Lots of new stuff to fiddle with! | 17th Sep 2008

So there’s been lots of new stuff I’ve been able to fiddle with recently. I started a Twitter account, so if you have an account there, let me know so I can follow you. The reason I went with Twitter, over something like Facebook’s status message is that it’s able to be plugged [...]

Are you passionate? | 2nd Sep 2008

The passionates vs. the non-passionates by Robert Scoble. Great article on what makes a successful company and how to get new users for your products, whether that be a blog or a piece of software or something else entirely. The descriptions of “non-passionates” rings very true with me.

Preserving our history | 10th Apr 2008

I recently read that Jackson Browne released a sequel to his popular album Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1 from a few years ago. It’s one of my favorite albums of the past few years, and this was coming from someone who had no idea who Jackson Browne really was when I first heard it. [...]

Portable Electronic Medical Records | 27th Mar 2008

I have been meaning to do a long post on EMRs for a while. After reading a recent post on Ars Technica on this issue, I decided this is as good of a time as any.

Tech Politics | 31st Jan 2008

An interesting take on the upcoming presidential election with regards to technology was written up by Randall Munroe of xkcd. I’m not much for politics but this gives me another darn good reason to like Obama.

Wiimote mod | 11th Nov 2007

This mod of the Wiimote is laying the groundwork for groundbreaking interactive entertainment. Can you imagine only having to wave your hand to turn interact with your TV?! It’s multi-touch technology without the touch! Very cool. (Hat tip: Usama)

Moving Day | 1st Nov 2007

I’m moving my domain over from GoDaddy to my brand new ANhosting account. What difference does this make for you? Probably not much. I’ve been using ANhosting for a week or two with the RMstudents website and I liked them so much (and they were having such a good Halloween hosting special) [...]

Vote Against Microsoft’s Office OpenXML becoming ISO standard.

Whowas? | 30th Oct 2007

According to the New York Times BITS section, whois may become whowas due to it’s incredible abuse by spammers. If you’re not familiar, WHOIS is a large database similar to a phone book for websites.
